"The urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living."  Harry Bertoia.

My love for Harry Bertoia's Diamond Chair began when I was a child visiting my paediatrician.  The image of bright yellow side chairs is forever embedded in my memory.  Experiencing the sensation of intertwining my fingers between the open spaces, I would clamber up onto them. 

Many years later, I set out to rekindle my long lost love.  The bright yellow children's chairs had morphed and matured to become the Diamond Chair.  Reunited in a Toronto design gallery, I fell in love all over again.  "...go on living."

This perfect cappuccino, with a sprinkle of cinnamon, was lovingly crafted by the owner of Fiesta Coffee.  

A blend of the finest selection of coffee beans makes Fiesta Coffee sing with aroma and flavour.  

Truly the best coffee I have had the pleasure of enjoying.

"As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion.  Ideas begin to move, smiles arise, the paper is covered.  Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle."  Honoré de Balzac.

This vintage poster, circa 1926, was created by J.J. Stall for a company called D & D Paris.  It advertises  Le Météore, a fountain pen. 

In my opinion, this image signifies a young and independent woman entering the work field, perhaps as a secretary in a publishing house.  She is a modern woman of the 1920's sporting a short hair-do, a clingy dress and yielding a giant pen.  Fabulous!
